Add 東京Necro hook

[Jazzinghen]

Tl;dr

Added a 東京Necro hook after finding it using Cheat Engine.

The hook code is the following: HS-14*8@B5420:TokyoNecro.exe

Implementation details

• Modified engine match function to check for TOKYONECRO as text resource if Nitroplus package files are found
• Added a hooking function to the engine

Testing

• Try to hook 東京Necro and all the text should appear

Additional notes

• There is an additional hook that I found on a wiki that can extract the contents of the Encyclopedia as they are shown on the screen, we could add that as a secondary hook
• The hook also gets the real-time clock that's rendered on the main menu
• The hook doesn't seem to get the very first string after loading a game

After implementing everything I am wondering if the hook should be HS-14*4@B5420:TokyoNecro.exe because at that line the information is contained in the first position and then, when we get to the address I found at first, the information is in [ebp+8].

Searching for this much data shouldn't be necessary. If you're finding the wrong function try using Util::SearchMemory which returns all matches and hooking all of them.

Ok, will try to reduce the amount of memory to look for and if that doesn't work I'll use SearchMemory.

Reducing the amount of memory and using SearchMemory yields to too many hooks installed:

I'll try to use a different piece of code that's inside the function we need as this doesn't seem ideal.

[Jazzinghen]

The function now looks for 10 bytes. Maybe we could look for even less, but I wanted to be sure.
I have also added the Database hook, but there's a problem: even if the function that's hooked is called multiple times it is as if no new lines are inserted between calls, meaning that all the text is mangled together in a single line.
I wanted to add a new line at the end of each call, but I don't know if that's the proper way to handle this or not.

[Jazzinghen]

Also, given the implementation, should I update the hook code description to be HS4*@B5420:TokyoNecro.exe?
